I am so sorry for the late update. My life has been so crazy these last months and I've got so many excuses as to why I didn't get this up. But most recently my boob of a brother decided that because I had to download Whistle! Episodes our computer was running out of space. So he deleted useless things, to him, to get space. Unfortunately that meant Word Pad got deleted. Well I looked to try and download it again but it was gone. Then just yesterday I got brains and downloaded Open Office. Its a life saver! This program is just so great, almost better than Microsoft Word!
Warnings: Yaoi, don't like it don' read.
Additional Notes: I try to keep the characters in character but they just love to get OOC, so if they are just ignore it.

Zuko went back to his ship. Now that the Avatar was gone he needed to find a place to hide and stay there, hidden. He sent to find Iroh to see if he knew any place to stay. But on his way he got himself drifting off. He thought about Sokka. 'I wonder where he is, what hes doing. Has he found Aang yet? All I can do is hope! '
He soon found Iroh. "Uncle! Do you know of a place we can stay and still be hidden from the Fire Nation?" He had already told his uncle about his decision to release the Avatar and to hide from the fire nation so he didn't need to explain anything. "Actually yes! I have two places. you can chose. There is one in the Water Tribe and one in the Earth Nation. Chose one." Zuko didn't need to guess this much thought. If he went to the Water Nation he would think of Sokka every day and night, but if he went to the Earth Nation then he would think of him less. Not much of a hard choice. "Lets go to the Earth Nation." Iroh could understand his nephew's decision by the way it was said. "I see. So then to the Village of Algetham (al-get-ham) it is! Its in the northern Earth Nation so head in that direction!"
Zuko had never heard of this village so he just decided to think of it as the Northern Earth Nation. But now he thought of Sokka. He was thinking of him an awful lot this day, it was starting to become troublesome. This reminded him, he should ask Iroh why he didn't tell him that Sokka was straight. "Uncle, did you know that Sokka was straight?" Zuko said , in a small yet questioning tone, different than his usual laud and formal voice.
"Where did you hear that? And yes I did know." Iroh said this in his normal tone. But Zuko was now mad. If Iroh had known all along then why hadn't he told him before? "Why didn't you tell me that day on the ships deck?" Zuko was now getting his normal laud tone. "Zuko you need to learn that somethings are better kept untold. That little bit of info is incorrect. If I had told you that Sokka was straight then you would have given up all thoughts of him and been mad and obnoxious. But by not telling you, you were kept happy. See Zuko there is one thing you must understand. No one is straight, its a matter of life. People calming they are, are just saying that they seem to be attracted to the members of the opposite sex. But the real hard truth is that everyone is Bi, no one is gay, straight, or lesbian. That is a fact of life. Do you understand this Zuko?"
To tell the truth Zuko really didn't understand. He was gay! He knew it, he would never like a girl. And Sokka was straight, he would never like a boy. He said this out loud so that Iroh knew what he had just thought. "But Zuko, if you had met the right girl before meeting Sokka you would have liked her. But you didn't so you like Sokka. But if a girl passes by that your body liked then she will steal the attention from Sokka. Zuko you need to understand this. You like girls no matter what, its in your brain. But you just haven't met the right girl and even if you did your mind is too preoccupied with Sokka." Zuko was kinda starting to understand but he still didn't.
"Well anyways I have to go. This ship will burn down if I spend more time with you." With that said Zuko left to go check up on everything. So then to the Northern Earth Tribe place they go!

Aang was running as fast as he could down the forest. He needed to find Sokka and Katara. Thats when he spot the big bison. He ran to it.
"Aang!" Aang heard this be screamed the minute he came into viewing distance of Katara. She ran and gave him a big bare hug. "What happened to you? Are you ok?"
Aang had decided earlier not to tell Sokka about Zuko's confession. He would tell them everything except that little detail. So he did. "I don't get it, why did Zuko let you go. Thats definitely not Zuko like. Something is fishy here, and I don't like it," Sokka said in his usual questioning tone.

Later that night after Sokka had eaten dinner he lay on his bed. 'Why had Zuko let Aang go? I thought he wanted to capture Aang and take him back to the Fire Nation. There must be something that Aang isn't telling them. But what could it be? Maybe Aang found a way to blackmail Zuko. But I don't see why Aang wouldn't tell us that.'
Sokka couldn't sleep. This dumb thing was bothering him more than anything else had. He just hoped that he could get everything done on time for when they left the next day. And with that thought he heard someone shaking his tent telling him to wake up. He got out of bed and got dressed. Well it wasn't really a bed. It was more like a sheet laid out in a tent made of another sheet on top of some sticks. They really needed money and they had to sell the old tents. "I'm up, I'm up!"

After they had eaten a nice breakfast of scrambled eggs, everyone started to get ready to leave. Although Aang didn't have much work to do.
Once everyone was done they had to decide on where to go. They still needed Aang to learn to Water Bending so the North Pole was the only place to go right now.
With that settled they put their bags on top of Apa and got on their way. But they had almost forgot about Momo, he had ran out to get some acorns for himself to eat.

"Uncle! We have been sailing for 5 days now, when are we going to get there? We are almost out of usable fuel!" Zuko was very angry. His uncle had been trying to figure out a way to defeat people at Pai Sho, and this caused him to be distracted for the past few days. "We will get there in about 2 more days. Don't rush this Zuko, we are arriving as guests after all."
Zuko really couldn't take this. So he want back to be check up on everyone. Everything was fine. That was until he checked the fuel guy. He said they only have enough fuel for one and a half more days of sailing. This was just great!
